"Within each one of us there is another whom we do not know,  wrote Carl Gustav Jung, a psychologist who contributed in the establishment of modern psychology. "He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from how we see ourselves  (qtd. in Ehret 278). Jung's quote refers to the shadow, part of his theory of the human psyche, which includes an individual's unconscious and the conscious self, as well as the "collective  and "impersonal  unconscious that links us all (Cave 80). Jung also proposed that in order to complete individuation, "the process by which a person becomes . . . a separate, indivisible unity or ˜whole'  ("In Search of Self  57), individuals must learn to fully develop every aspect of their personality. It is natural for us to ignore or deny the shadow, even to fear it, but if we fail to recognize the shadow, "it will find indirect and irrational ways to make itself known  ("In Search of Self 57). If we can accept and incorporate the shadow into our conscious lives, we will learn to comprehend ourselves and become more conscious of our actions and motivations. Our shadows are revealed in many situations, such as popular entertainment, literature, and our own personal experiences. The Swiss psychologist Carl Jung believed that the shadow hides within us. A student of his, Marie- Louie Von Franz, explains in "The Realization of the Shadow in Dreams  that the shadow is a reflection of repressed characteristics of a person's conscious and ego (287). To be consciously aware of the shadow, Von Franz considers that projection can be useful because when we project our shadows onto others, we can see our hidden qualities, especially in those we dislike (Von Franz 288). Generally, people will feel "overwhelming rage  when others judge a trait of their shadow; thus they experience an unreasonable hatred towards someone who portrays the qualities of their shadow (Von Franz 287). Another way to see the shadow is to examine where the archetype appears; for example, in both dreams and myths, the shadow is not only the same gender, but it has the opposite qualities of the dreamer or hero's personality. Therefore, when the dreamer or hero confronts the shadow, he or she gains insight into those traits that need to be integrated into the conscious self. We may also see how the process of projection can escalate political disputes; hence, adversaries become aware of "their own unconscious tendencies in other people  (von Franz 287), distorting their projections. Even though projection reveals the traits of a person's inner self, the shadow may act as an antagonist in life if it is "misunderstood or ignored  (Von Franz 289). Von Franz suggests we should become friends with the shadows to better comprehend its purpose. As well as Von Franz, the poet Robert Bly discusses the shadow's expression in our lives in his article "The Long Bag We Drag Behind Us.  Bly uses a metaphorical bag to describe what people carry with them throughout their lives: parts of themselves that others detest, and which they repress. Different from Von Franz, Bly views projection to be useful for those who need to prevent their shadow from becoming barbaric or controlling, because they will have a clearer understanding of their soul. Other than individual bags, Bly reveals that there are community and national bags. Negatively, these bags influence us to have a biased point of view; thus a person many end up discriminating against a whole race whe
